A few weeks ago I wrote about Davia Richardson, a Mount Kisco child who was caught in a vexing bureaucratic snafu that left her parents wondering how she would get to kindergarten class in the fall.

This had all the elements of a fine mess. Davia’s father, Leonard, is blind and her mother, Marella, is a New York City teacher who commutes to the Bronx early in the morning — too early to also take her daughter to school.

Leonard Richardson gets around with the aid of a seeing-eye dog, but doesn’t feel confident that he can safely walk Davia to school during the hectic rush hour.

Making matters more complex, the Richardsons live just under the half-mile busing minimum. Theoretically, an exemption could be made if Davia’s route to school was determined hazardous enough under state law to qualify as a Child Safety Zone. It does not qualify.

Nor does Davia have “special needs.” Though in ways that are obvious, she actually has extra special needs, or challenges, that the Bedford Central School District couldn’t easily address.

The Richardsons felt that the district was unresponsive and giving them a run-around. After I wrote about their plight in April, more than a few readers were appalled.

One wrote:

“Thank you for writing about this young lady’s difficulty in getting to public school. It is an outrage that she is not being transported. I hope your (column) will shed light on this and change the school authority’s nonsensical ruling.”

Some readers, however, were not quite as sympathetic. Among them was a woman who said that when her husband died she was left with three young children. She managed to get them to school with the help of neighbors.

“There are ways to do it for yourself,” she wrote.

Leonard Richardson told me that he had looked into other options, including help from neighbors, but for various reasons none of them proved to be practical. Without a trace of self pity, he made an insistent plea to the school district for help.

School district officials took some heat for this — much of it from me. But it became clear that they were in a bind, hog tied by rules and red tape.

Superintendent Jere Hochman told me at that he recognized that the Richardsons were in a “unique situation.” He said, “(W)e have been exploring options.”

Nothing happened until last Friday when the Richardsons finally received a follow-up letter from the school district, reiterating its position that there was nothing they could do. However, Leonard Richardson did see a ray of hope.

“At the end of the letter there was a phone number for the bus transportation department,” he said Monday. “I was told that I could give them a call and see if they could assist me in any way.”

He called the Towne Bus Corp. in Bridgeport, Conn.

“Lo and behold, the gentleman I spoke with already knew the situation and he said, ‘Oh yes, don’t worry. Everything is A-OK, squared away. Your daughter will be picked up from the home, brought to school, picked up at school and brought back here.”

It turned out that the bus company could make an exception, if the school district technically could not. Hochman said “the bus company’s choosing to do this.”

Andrew Ifill, Towne’s general manager, confirmed it. “This is a special situation — and being part of the community, we wanted to step in and give assistance where we could,” he told me. “We saw your story. It generated our interest, yes it did.”

Ifill said he will get back in touch with the Richardsons in August to confirm a morning pickup time for Davia.

Her father was happy.

“That’s an understatement,” he said. “It’s like a load has been lifted. Thank you, God.”

So there it is.

When school starts in September, a certain Mount Kisco child will not be left behind. And that is good news, indeed.
